Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 23 GPD 111 04 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program (RCPGP) - Region 4 is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), administered by FEMA, focused on strengthening how jurisdictions work together to prepare for and manage catastrophic incidents. The program is designed to close known preparedness and response capability gaps, encourage new and innovative regional solutions, and build on existing regional planning and preparedness efforts. In practical terms, it supports collaborative, multi-jurisdiction work that improves prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery outcomes when an incident is so severe that it overwhelms normal systems and requires a coordinated regional approach.
The grant’s purpose centers on building regional capacity to handle catastrophic incidents by improving and expanding collaboration for catastrophic incident preparedness. FEMA references the National Response Framework (4th edition or a newer version) for what qualifies as a catastrophic incident: any natural or human-caused event, including terrorism, that produces extraordinary levels of mass casualties, destruction, or disruption. These are the kinds of incidents that can severely affect the population, critical infrastructure, the environment, the economy, national morale, and the ability of government to function. Because these impacts do not respect city or county lines, the program emphasizes regional planning and coordination as a necessary foundation for effective operations before, during, and after a major disaster.
This FY 2023 RCPGP round is also framed to align with the 2022-2026 FEMA Strategic Plan, which sets three broad agency goals: (1) promote and instill equity as a foundation of emergency management, (2) lead the whole of community in climate resilience, and (3) promote and sustain a ready FEMA and prepared nation. Consistent with that direction, the strategic priorities for the FY 2023 RCPGP are equity, climate resilience, and readiness. Equity is highlighted as a core theme: the program aims to ensure that disadvantaged and underserved communities, including people at special risk from current hazards and climate-related threats, are considered systematically and fairly in catastrophic planning and preparedness improvements. The intent is to drive more consistent, just, and impartial outcomes for all individuals before, during, and after disasters, rather than leaving the most at-risk communities behind.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is listed as DHS 23 GPD 111 04 01 under CFDA 97.111 (disaster prevention and relief). Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, and city or township governments. The funding instrument is a grant, with an award ceiling of up to $3,000,000 per award, and FEMA anticipated making about 10 awards. The opportunity was created on May 23, 2023, and the original application closing date was July 24, 2023. Overall, the program is best understood as targeted federal support for regionally coordinated catastrophic preparedness efforts, especially those that measurably improve readiness, incorporate climate resilience considerations, and embed equity into planning and capability development.Apply for DHS 23 GPD 111 04 01
